My impression (I don't own the robots expansion yet) is that the robots are essentially just making rules on how a person would play: e.g. "This robot will always buy as many resources as it can afford."

The robot is creating a programmed additional player, and (I believe) has no effect on how you would otherwise set up the map and resource supply.

The robots work with any map. It might be a real pain to use robots with the Korea map's split fuel market. The robots are unprepared to deal with any of the cards in Power Grid: BGG Promo Card Set, but the humans can still bid on them.
